Android cannot resolve method requestLocationUpdates FusedLocationProviderAPI

Question

I'm attempting to follow the Android Receiving Location Updates tutorial. The example code is here on Github.

Everything is working except for this line: LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.requestLocationUpdates(mGoogleApiClient, mLocationRequest, this);

It's throwing a cannot resolve method requestLocationUpdates error. I don't see anything in the documentation, but I'm pretty new to Android so might be missing something :).

Here's the full code. Any ideas where I'm going wrong? Thanks!

    }

    }

    @Override

    }

        Toast.makeText(getActivity(), location.toString() + "", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    }

    @Override

    @Override
    public void onConnectionFailed(ConnectionResult result) {
        Log.i("LocationFragment", "Connection failed: ConnectionResult.getErrorCode() " + result.getErrorCode());
    }

    @Override
    public void onConnectionSuspended(int cause) {
        Log.i("LocationFragment", "Connection suspended");
        mGoogleApiClient.connect();
    }

}

Answer 1

You have to use LocationListener for LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.requestLocationUpdates's locationListener

not

android.location.LocationListener

but

com.google.android.gms.location.LocationListener
